I had the first part of a root canal last night. Dr. Toothy assured me that I
would start feeling better quickly, but by the time I reached the train
station I already needed another painkiller, about an hour after my previous
one. The ride home was agonizing, with intense pain from my tooth and severe
nausea from painkillers and antibiotics on an empty stomach. This got steadily
worse until I threw up (lucky I brought my own train sickness bag, since I was
nauseated all day), at which point everything started getting better, so Dr.
Toothy was right after all. I feel much better already this morning, and after
catching up on stuff I missed yesterday, presumably will be back on track.
